How to Use a Dermaroller: How Does it Work?

The A-Derma roller is a widely recognized skin care tool for treating scars. People with acne scars opt for this treatment to even out their skin and get rid of all the scars. Dermarolling or Microneedling was first performed only by the dermatologist, but now the process is much easier and more affordable as people have started using them from the comfort of their homes.

With Derma Rollers available in the market at a much more affordable price, people have started experimenting more and more and at a very affordable price. The derma roller treatment, when performed by a dermal, will cost you around 30-40 thousand, but you can easily find the product in the market these days.

Derma rollers have very small and fine needles attached to them, even though it is widely available, people should be careful when using it and they can aggravate your scars if not used properly.

Derma roller treatment is expensive and it was discovered after intensive research, they became famous in 2005 when they were invented and people could see a difference in their skin texture after using them.

How does a derma roller work?

Now let’s read how a derma roller works and if it suits your skin.

As we mentioned before, the dermaroller consists of fine needles that puncture the skin, so if you have acne scars, this will smooth them out. The needles are small and the holes they will create will be very tiny so it is not an invasive treatment, this process does not damage the outer layer of the skin but it works on the inner layer.

Derma rollers help to puncture the scar tissue from the inside, this technique results in superficial bleeding which alerts the body to heal the wound.

This Derma roller process leads to the next process in the body which helps in healing the scar and making the skin much smoother.

The skin releases substances that help stimulate growth
Helps form new blood vessels in the skin
The skin begins to produce more collagen

For the next 5 days, the body produces collagen which is collected from the affected area, which helps to heal the skin and make it firmer.

How to use a dermaroller?

Now let’s see how to use the derma roller at home, it’s not a very difficult process if you can manage it. Do not use the Derma roller without reading or knowing enough about it, do your research and see if it will suit your skin or not.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

The first step you need to take before starting your journey with the Derma Roller is to sanitize it. You can use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect it and soak it for 5-10 minutes.
The second step is to cleanse your face, use a mild pH balanced cleanser to cleanse your face and provide a smooth base for the roller to work on.
The third step is not mandatory and may vary from person to person. If you have a tolerance for the roller, you can avoid using a numbing cream, but if you don’t, we suggest finding a mild numbing cream. Apply it to your face before continuing with the Derma roller.
The fourth step if you go ahead with the Derma roller, you can divide your face into segments so that it is sooner for you to work. Use the Derma Roller on each segment at least 6-8 times to ensure you are rolling in one direction. Repeat this step on each section of your face.
The next step is to wash your face with water. Once you are done using a Derma Roller, do not use any other product right away as it may leave you with a burning sensation.
Wash your Derma Roller, sanitize it again, and store it in a safe place.
Once your skin has calmed down, you can continue your daily care using serums, oils, creams as you see fit.
